    answers (even if the question does not ask for one)

     All diagrams must be drawn in pencil and include a border and title.

     Use the Key question word (define, explain, describe, etc.) as well as the
    number of marks per question as a guide to how much to write for a question.

     Try to answer questions in a logical and sequential manner (don’t start on one
    point, digress to another point and then return to the original point). Your
    answers must flow!

     All responses must in a proper format i.e. a formal sentence, paragraph, etc.
    Responses must not be in point form and abbreviations are not permitted.

     Check your grammar and spelling!
